We did this migration not too long ago. It was actually pretty easy once everything was setup and the devices were available on all LPARs.
The main tool we used was FDRCOPY. With a few simple jobs, we were able to use it and migrate almost 80% of the items on the TS7720 to the DLM. It did the copies and recataloged everything to the new DLM "tapes". For my 7 years of FDRARCHIVE tapes, we used the FDRARCHIVE utilizes to copy everything that we needed to keep. FDRCOPY also let us "stack" items onto "tapes", so a lot of the 30 years of "logs", we were able to "stack". It was quite nice that it handled all the recataloging so that none of the using jobs needed to be modified at all. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Peter Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2020 8:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: TS7720 to EMC DLM migration Hello I am interested to know about your experience on migrating TS7720 to EMC DLM ? Basically what are the changes to be done in zOSA Before migrating ? Any gotchas ? We use HSM and is there anything to be done ?
